Pros

Outstanding people, best state agency to work for in Texas. Which means, in the Country. Because Texas. Seriously, this agency does covers more highway miles more effectively, efficiently, and with fewer people and resources than any other top-tier DOT in the U.S.

Cons

Seeking effective leaders for all these great folks. Inherent tension between HQ and outlying Districts can be counterproductive and add risk. Beholden to a legislature distrustful of state government (sometimes warranted, often not), so we get blamed for the ethical and management failings of other agencies.

Pros

Good health insurance, vacation and sick leave! No mandatory overtime

Cons

Hired remote before Covid and this agency ended all telework even though other state agencies kept it! Doing the work of 3 people but pay for 1 …building outdated (except for HQ in Austin), lack of modern software but PeopleSoft gets the job done, High mandatory pension deductions right at 9.5% big hit to paycheck! Getting paid once a month big adjustment. Ending telework really limits their talent pool around the state of Texas now must live in Austin if you want access to the majority of good jobs.
